Mel Wilson, Vice President
Mel has been working on the development of HTWF for eight years and has co-authored several HTWF books and manuals with Ms. Johnson.
Mr. Wilson has a BA in Linguistics and a Master's Degree in Public Administration. He has lived in New Zealand, Austalia, Canada and the United States, including two years of schooling in Hawaii.
He was actively involved with microcredit for two years. As part of this effort he helped lobby congress and worked with the inner-city poor in Miami, Florida to facilitate microloans to those wishing to start their own businesses.
He also became deeply aware of the needs of the elderly working as a VP of operations in a healthcare company in California for about four years.
Mr. Wilson has devoted himself to understanding the nature of character improvement, believing that if athletes can have an ever-improving array of tools and other diagnostic devices to improve their physical performances, than "character athletes" should also have access to tools to improve their character performances.
He views such improvements as increasing people's ability to love and that HTWF's TGOL initiative as a toolbox that will supply such tools to this end.
He is admired and viewed by those who know him as a backyard scholar and writer and has worked with Ms. Johnson closely while developing the initiatives of the charity for eight years.
He is a proud husband and father of six boys. He currently resides in Wisconsin.
"HTWF is a charity organization with a unique model for infusing this world with healing. I feel honored to work with other HTWFers who truly understand that love is a central goal that must underlie all other HTWF goals and activities."
Mel Wilson
